  2. 1. Role of Wnt5a in Prostate Cancer

    Author : Azharuddin Sajid Syed Khaja; Malmö Urologisk cancerforskning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate Cancer; Wnt5a; tissue micro array; Biochemical recurrence; Gene fusions;

    Abstract : Wnt5a is a non-canonical secreted glycoprotein of the Wnt family that plays important roles in organ development and tissue orientation. Previous studies have reported that Wnt5a was upregulated at both mRNA and protein levels in prostate cancer, but information regarding its role in predicting clinical outcome in patients after radical prostatectomy is limited.

  4. 2. STAT3 in Prostate Cancer

    Author : Nicholas Don-Doncow; Malmö Urologisk cancerforskning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prostate cancer; STAT3; biomarker; Immunohistochemestry; Drug Resistance;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer is the second most common diagnosed cancer among men. Currently there are no reliablebiomarkers to distinguish between indolent and aggressive disease. When men progress to advanced stages of the disease treatment options are limited and resistance to treatments available today is a growing problem. READ MORE

  5. 3. Role of mitochondria in early molecular diagnosis and prognosis of cancer

    Author : Yanni Li; Allmänmedicin och klinisk epidemiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; mtDNA copy number; mitochondrial-related nuclear genes; mtDNA mutations; diagnosis; prognosis; biomarker;

    Abstract : Background:Earlier clinical detection of cancer may improve survival as well as offer opportunities for less invasive treatment options. This thesis explores whether the mitochondria and its related genes in the nuclear genome can be used as novel methods for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancers. READ MORE

  6. 4. Identification of miRNA expression profiles for diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer

    Author : Jessica Carlsson; Karin Klinga Levan; Björn Olsson; Gisela Helenius; Pernilla Wikström; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; microRNAs; prostate zones; normalization; endogenous controls; Medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : Cancer of the prostate (CaP) is the most common malignancy diagnosed in men in the Western society. During the last years, prostate specific antigen (PSA) has been used as a biomarker for CaP, although a high PSA value is not specific for CaP. Thus, there is an urgent need for new and improved diagnostic markers for CaP. READ MORE

  7. 5. Evaluation of regulator of G-protein signaling 2 (RGS2) at different stages of prostate cancer - Significance and clinical potential

    Author : Anna Linder; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; Regulator of G-protein signaling 2 RGS2 ; castration-resistance; Androgen receptor; Prostate cancer bone metastases;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer (PC) is often a slow-growing and symptom-free disease with good prognosis. However, a substantial number will progress, ultimately metastasize if left untreated and finally kill the patient. The standard treatment for these stages of PC is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which generally has an initially good clinical response. READ MORE
